[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3252621, member: 11697"] A couple of comments on the game those events happened in: Tristol's player rolled a nat 20 on the flesh to stone, and I rolled a critical miss for Shylara on her save versus the spell. When they "killed" her the first time, it was nearly a TPK already from the pure number of spells she was tossing out in the space of every round, and there was silence when I took a break to go get a drink, and then walked back into the room doing the clapping and all and told them what they saw. Shylara was pulling a little trick with astral projection: projecting from Carceri and then diving through a color pool to form a surrogate body. In the surrogate body she was then just gating or planeshifting to the demiplane or wherever else she needed to be. If "killed" in that form no harm to her, she'd just wake up in Carceri and do it again. But the petrification denied her the ability to end her projection, or do much of anything, and she was so recently ascended to her position of power that she hadn't yet learned to do planar projections like other more powerful archfiends rather than using the color pool trick. Lots and lots of power, but just not the experience to use it as fully as other similar beings might be capable of. So what do you do with an archfiend if you happen to find yourself in possession of one? That's the ten million jink question. :D [/QUOTE]
